Title: Timber
IPC: B27B1/00
Filed: 1977-04-12
Abstract: To improve the utilisation of round timber in the conversion to squared timber, round-timber sections are trimmed symmetrically at the side in the area of their curved cross-sectional boundary in equal angles in the opposite direction and are glued to one another in layers at the trimmed surfaces in each case in opposite direction. Here, the trimmed surfaces are dimensioned to be so short that a considerable part of the curved cross-sectional boundary is left on either side of the trimmed surfaces and forms a hollow gusset (9) between the assembled round-timber sections. The layers are then cut to form squared timber, the cuts (8) expediently being made in the area of the gluing so that complete edges (10) remain on all sides. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 593,337. Type printing telegraphy. CREED & CO., Ltd., and THOMPSON, A. E. June 15, 1945, No. 15247. [Class 40 (iii)] In a telegraph printing mechanism means are provided to print both a character and its code representation simultaneously on the same medium. As described, two type-wheels 2, 3, each bearing characters in one " case " are slidably mounted on a splined shaft 1 and between them is mounted a code drum 11 bearing a row of projections parallel to its axis for each pair of characters on the two typewheels and representing the 5-unit code representation of said characters. By means of normal case-shift mechanism, the arms 9, 10 riding in slots 6, 7 of the type-wheel bosses 4, 5 cause one or other of the type-wheels to move close to the code-drum, so that when a printing hammer 12 descends it presses an ink ribbon 13 against a tape 14, and the tape against the code drum and one or other type-wheel, so as to print a character and its equivalent code representation. A modification uses only one type-wheel with two angular positions for each code signal, the required position being selected by the case-shift mechanism. The type-wheels and code drum may be inked by an inking roller. Specifications 468,839, [Group XVI], 483,355, 499,702 and 540,612 are referred to.

Abstract: 375,958. Determining distances acoustically ; gramophones. EVERSHED & VIGNOLES, Ltd. and NEEDHAM, J. C., Acton Lane Works, Chiswick, London. May 26, 1931, No. 15390. [Classes 40 (ii) and 118 (ii).] Relates to a known system for indicating the distance of a ship from a wireless beaconstation by means of a gramophone record which " counts " the time that elapses between the transmission of an acoustic signal from the beacon and its receipt by the ship's navigating officer. According to the present invention, the gramophone turntable, a contact-making device for controlling the pick-up, and a member for operating the acoustic signal are all positively geared together in definite time relationship. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic plan showing the driving mechanism, and Fig. 3 a side elevation showing the pick-up and gramophone record. A motor a drives the gramophone turntable d and also a second disc h, which through a cam q intermittently closes contacts n to sound the foghorn, and through an electromagnet w periodically lifts the pickup z, Fig. 3, off the record and restores it to its starting position. Roller contacts x<1>, x<2>, Fig. 3, co-operate with a split contact ring v<1>, v<2>, Fig. 1, to energize the electromagnet w after a given sequence of " counts." This attracts an armature y to raise an arm y<1>, which lifts the pick-up z off the record and then swings it back to the beginning of the record, ready to recommence the sequence of counting as and from the instant when the foghorn is next sounded.

Title: Stop devices for facilitating automatic feeding of bar stock in automatic lathes and like machine tools
Inventor: VANN HENRY EDWIN
IPC: B23B13/12
Filed: 1957-05-15
Abstract: 840,431. Automatic-lathe details. RATBY ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. May 8, 1958 [May 15, 1957], No. 15413/57. Class 83 (3). An automatic-lathe or like machine-tool for working upon bar-stock fed through a collet, is equipped with a normal stop-device for determining the length of stock required for a workpiece and has an auxiliary stop device for determining the waste length-of-stock to be cut from a new stock-bar for trimming. The auxiliary stop blade 2a, Figs. 5 and 6, may be mounted through a carrier 3 clamped to the usual stock-stop-pivot 7, the latter stop 1 extending in a position beyond the auxiliary stop. This stop is pivoted at 10 on the carrier, and the end opposite the stop-face is located in a pocket formed in a block 16, Fig. 6, secured to the carrier. The stop-end is biased towards the lathe &c., collet C by a spring 11 at the pivot, and a torsion spring 14a tends to turn the auxiliary stop towards the work-axis. Operation.-When the remnant of stock-bar which is too short for a workpiece and, therefore, does not reach the normal stop, is pushed out of the collet by a new stock-bar, the auxiliary stop 2a, which at this time is pressed towards the collet-axis by torsion spring 14a, is released to take up a position in front of the new stock-bar. The latter is pushed against the auxiliary stop and compresses bias-spring 11 until this stop bears against its abutment surface formed by the flat side of carrier 3 adjacent the collet. The stock-bar is now in a position to have a short end cut-off by the normal parting-tool, to thus trim the end of the new bar ready for a new set of workpieces to be produced. The auxiliary stop is moved away prior to this by the normal movement of the main stock-stop 1 and support-rod 7. Modifications.-In an arrangement where the usual radially-moved stock-stop is replaced by, say, a turret-stop 26, Fig. 9, the auxiliary stop 18 is supported in a carrier 19 secured to the machine headstock. Springs 24, 21, effect the transverse and axial-bias, respectively, of the stop, and face 19a of the carrier is used as the abutment surface. The stop is moved against the workpiece B at each cycle of linkage 22, 23, operated from the machine camshaft. Other variations in the fixing of the auxiliary stop are described.
